The city's heaviest sustained 24-hour summer '23 rainfall is a literal perfect storm illustration of the damaging GOP/right-wing talk radio alliance that killed light rail which could have conveniently delivered many thousands of Pink's concert-goers. jsonline.com/story/news/tra…

Yes, baseball closed out at AMFam Field Wednesday (I was there for both games with my adult sons, one game a piece), but under that sky in Lake Park Thurs. with 2, two hundred-year old green ash trees still going strong in deep left the ball diamond there looked dam near eternal.

Great to see Douglas Armstrong at Boswell Book Company Thursday reading from his latest novel Sun Dog Memory. Deeply researched thriller by a career journalist. Salute.

I stopped on the Wisconsin Ave. bridge on my way to Thursday night’s Bob Dylan show at the Riverside Theater to appreciate how the rain added sparkle to the upriver view.

A few minutes after 5 p.m. Wednesday on the new Locust St. Ravine Trail extension in Lake Park beneath the reconstructed concrete pedestrian bridge. Great sky!

Winter Solstice lighting switched on Thursday night at the Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum is spectacular. Make sure to look through windows to see the glow falling from above the atrium into the interior & across the walls, floor & even the Calder mobile.

This is Ann Telnaes, a longtime political cartoonist for the Washington Post. She resigned yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos blocked her cartoon criticizing Donald Trump and billionaires supporting him from being published. RETWEET if you stand with Ann Telnaes!

We couldn’t ask Bob Uecker for more than what he gave us. His baseball history, voice & stories were unmatched. I can’t imagine having a fuller life & bringing more joy to everyone. I will forever be grateful for his friendship- what a gift. I will think of him every game.💙💛

For #Brewers fans mourning the loss of the great Bob Uecker, I encourage you to pick up the Journal Sentinel or go to JSonline for extraordinary coverage and tributes. I counted 23 stories online this morning. Special kudos to beat writers Todd Rosiak and Curt Hogg.
